Busy, Decisions Decisions... and then Bought!

We had a busy weekend to say the least!

We started the weekend off by being at home and just relaxing... of course, I can't really say I relaxed much (cuz I can't sit still), but we played hard with Kayson and enjoyed some time at home Saturday morning. Plus Mr. Kayson slept til 7:30 (12 hours), so that was great for Ryan and me! Saturday afternoon we met with our realtor to start looking at homes... I think we had about 12 on our list, and we ended up looking at about 7. That's a lot. We were both completely wiped out and overwhelmed when we got home... so much to think about - the yards, the garage, kitchen space, bedroom dimensions, and of course price! :) Saturday evening we narrowed it down to 3 of the homes...

Sunday morning I took some family pictures for our close friends Clay & Holly and their adorable, petite daughter Gillian. It was breezy, so we hurried along, but I got some great shots of them and "Gilly". After that, we did a quick lunch at home and then off to look at the 3 homes we had narrowed in on. We started with one that was on a culdasac. Going into it, I personally thought we were going to choose this one... it had a great yard, huge! But it was already painted, and it was painted a icky yellow color... we just weren't sure about it (weren't sure if we could look past that). So we moved on to the next home - it is EXACTLY like the one on the culdasac, but has a 3 car garage. The more we looked at this one, the more we fell in love with it. The yard was great - a lot bigger than we thought, and everything else we would be able to choose - flooring, paint, etc... We thought we can't go wrong with this one, and that's the one we chose! It was an exciting feeling! We filled out the paper work (offer to the builder), and we waited only about an hour... and after one counter, it was accepted and we have a new home!

Tonight we met with the realtor and builder to make some decisions on what goes in the home. Over the next week, we'll go and pick out the countertops, paint color and flooring. Then we just wait til November 20. We have lots of packing to do... gotta get some more boxes!

Here's a picture of the outside of the home. We love it!! I will do my best to keep pictures coming on the house! Lots of work to do in the next 4 weeks!
